While many kids are enjoying their Christmas break, there will be kids starving because their families can't afford food. Because of that, Abilene ISD is hosting a food drive to help those in need.

While organizing our Coats for Kids drive, I was shocked to hear about the number of students that rely on free or reduced meals at school. Outside of these meals they receive at school, many of these students have nothing to eat. Which means, during the holiday break, these students won't be able to go to school for something as simple as a meal. This saddens me to the core.

Please help AISD with this food drive today so these students and their families have the food they need this Christmas.

The location of the food drive is at "One AISD" at 241 Pine, Downtown Abilene.

The food drive is from 9am-3pm.
